a) The Aircraft shall have zero (o) hours since the last "C" check. 



 b) Each and every life-limited and hard-time component (other than the auxiliary power unit and the landing gear) on the Aircraft will be returned with the same hours and cycles remaining as at delivery and have sufficient time remaining to clear each component until the next scheduled "C" Check per Lessee's maintenance program, provided that, Lessor and Lessee will calculate a dollar adjustment to be mutually agreed upon for more or less time remaining for each component than was the status at delivery except in the event the component does not have sufficient time remaining until the next "C" Check, in which case Lessee shall replace such part.



 c) The Aircraft shall have at least the same number of hours and cycles or days (whichever shall be most limiting) remaining until the next scheduled "4C" or "8C" check (whichever is next due) as was the case on the Commencement Date. Lessee may return the Aircraft with less time remaining than on the Commencement Date, provided that the following two (2) conditions are satisfied:



 i. The Aircraft has no less than twelve (12) months (or the equivalent number of cycles or hours based on Lessee's annual utilization rate) remaining until the next "4C" or "8C" check (whichever is next due) ; and
